Sts Cosmas and Damian
(Cappella Nerli)
The altarpiece, Martyrdom of Sts. Cosmas and Damian, oil on wood commissioned for this chapel in 1669, is by Salvator Rosa. Of this painting, Salvator Rosa said according to his contemporary Passery: "have Michelangelo come, and have him design this nude better than I have done it, if he will be able to !"
